Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse anti-p53 (pS37)
Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse anti-p53 (pS37)
Analysis of p53 (pS37) in human epidermoid carcinoma.  The shaded histogram represents A-431 cells (ATCC CRL-1555) that were exposed to 2,400 joules of ultraviolet light (UV), allowed to recover in culture for 1.5 hours, then treated with 2 nM calyculin A plus 500 nM okadaic acid for 30 minutes at 37ºC, and finally detached using trypsin in the presence of calyculin A plus okadaic acid.  The open histogram represents untreated A-431 cells.  The cells were fixed (BD Cytofix™ buffer, Cat. No. 554655) for 10 minutes at 37°C, then permeabilized (BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III, Cat. No. 558050) on ice for 30 minutes, and then stained with Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse anti-p53 (pS37).  Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSArray™ bioanalyzer system. The specificity of mAb J159-641.79 was confirmed by western blot analysis.  Lysates from control (left panel) and UV-calyculin A-okadaic acid-treated (right panel) A-431 cells were probed with purified antibody at concentrations of 0.5, 0.25, and 0.125 µg/ml (Lanes 1, 2, and 3, respectively).  p53 (pS37) is identified as a band of 53 kDa in the treated cells.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed.

Recommended Assay Procedures

Either BD Cytofix™ fixation buffer or BD Phosflow™ Fix Buffer I may be used for cell fixation.

J159-641.79

The p53 protein is critical to regulation of normal cell growth and is a suppressor of tumor cell proliferation.  Inactivation of p53 by a number of mechanisms, such as missense mutations or interaction with oncogenic viral or cellular proteins, can result in tumor progression.  Mutations and/or allelic loss of the p53 gene are associated with a wide variety of human tumors.  Known to have a role in transcriptional regulation, p53 suppresses various promoters containing TATA elements in an apparently sequence-independent fashion.  p53 also binds to DNA in a sequence-specific manner via recognition of a 20-bp consensus-binding site.  This interaction stimulates the expression of genes downstream of the p53 binding site.  A number of genes that contain p53-binding sites have been identified, including MDM2, GADD45, and muscle creatine kinase, which primarily prevent cell proliferation.  MDM2 mediates feedback inhibition of p53, which is prevented by phosphorylations of p53 amino-terminal serines and threonines.  Upon exposure to DNA damage-inducing agents, ATR and DNA-PK (ataxia telangiectasia- and Rad3-related and DNA-dependent protein kinases, respectively) phosphorylate p53 at serine 37 (S37).  This phosphorylation disrupts the binding of MDM2 to p53, allowing the cell's stress responses to proceed.  

The J159-641.79 monoclonal antibody recognizes p53 phosphorylated at S37.

Alexa Fluor™ 647
Alexa Fluor™ 647 Dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 653-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 669-nm. Alexa Fluor 647 is designed to be excited by the Red laser (627-640 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 660/20 nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
